    PRESSURE vs The WW2 Movie Tiers (Review), "The IMAX Bubble" + 3 Cracking Listener HOT TAKES

    This week on FoF we sit in a sprinkle of rain and a gentle breeze as we review the new WW2 movie Pressure, attempting to contextualise its achievements and drawbacks alongside its peers. I also give you my honest feelings about what I'm calling "The IMAX Bubble" - is the growth sustainable? PLUS I run down what pre-1960s movies I've been diving into recently in what I'm calling my Black & White movie era*. We finish off with 3 really fun Hot Takes from YOU, the lovely FoF listeners.

I’d already recorded this episode. He asked me if he could also use it for a segment with an upcoming guest. I said yeah. Long story short - it was my idea, and therefore IT’S WAR! Jk. Check Letterboxd for my log dates of movies I’m discussing too for further proof it’s been a long time in the making.
